Havdalah Highlights

We start each week gathered together as a school for a Havdalah ceremony, during which we highlight students who we have noticed acting in ways that carry out our mission. Because we are so proud of our students, we wanted to share their stories with you!

Mila K. tidied up the TK library without being asked.

Dylan W. in TK helped a friend restring his beads after he had dropped them.

This story is to acknowledge the kindness of 4th grader Jonathan M. When we were making bracelets with the second grade for Pi Day, he ran around the room helping any student who was struggling or dropping beads. He made sure that everyone had a bracelet on his or her wrist when they left the math lab

Shout out to Sophia R. When the sixth graders are doing follow up work in math, Sophia is always willing to help her classmates if they are having any sort of problem. She is very patient and will stop what she is doing to help others.

Fifth grader Shirel C. noticed a classmate was upset. She told the teacher and would not leave the student's side even though he was not ready to say why he was upset.
